Yesterday First Lady Michelle Obama hosted a workshop at the White House for 80 middle/senior high schoolers from the D.C. area and New Orleans to view and discuss the movie Beasts of the Southern Wild in honor of Black History Month.

Because I recently watched the movie, I was a bit surprised. It is a tough gritty tale – told through the eyes of 6 year old “Hushpuppy” – of life and survival in the Louisiana bathtub.
